Take a moment to locate the cache, watch the wildlife play in Sand Creek, and think about how urban development can exist side-by-side with nature.

Stapleton International Airport was the primary airport serving Denver, Colorado, United States from 1929 to 1995.

In 1995, Stapleton was replaced by Denver International Airport. It has since been decommissioned and the property redeveloped as a retail and residential neighborhood.

The concrete surrounding Sand Creek was part of the runways that went over I-70. The tops of the runways were removed when the Stapleton housing development took shape. Sand Creek is now becoming a great location to see ducks, geese, and other wildlife.
